"If you are on Facebook but have never taken a particular shine to Facebook's e-mail capability, Facebook is intent on changing your mind. As of Friday, the company seems to have quietly given or replaced the display e-mail addresses of all of its users with an @facebook.com address, routing any e-mail communiques you would have received back to its own Messages inboxes." Scummy doesn't even begin to describe this.

Yes, I, who am a Facebook user, has certainly been shown the error of my ways. How dare they give me a free email address? How dare they give people who visit my profile on Facebook a way to contact me on Facebook? Hiding my main email address is a slightly icky move, but this is hardly the day of reckoning for Facebook users. Don't be so dramatic.
